CHHATTISGARH took a major step towards becoming a hub for India’s digital economy today, securing foreign direct investment (FDI) commitments worth Rs 43,250 crore at the inaugural Singapore-India Network for Growth (SING) Forum 2026 in Singapore, led by a single Rs 41,750 crore commitment for an Al-ready data centre campus. Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh Vishnu Deo Sai led the State delegation at the Forum, where Chhattisgarh was participating on the nomination of the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India. The landmark commitment comes from Singapore-headquartered Energy Capital Global Pte Ltd, which will establish a 100 MW Al-ready data centre campus in Chhattisgarh. Energy Capital Global develops and finances Al-ready data centres paired with on-site clean power across the Asia-Pacific, with a presence in Singapore, India, Malaysia, Kazakhstan and Australia. The Chief Minister handed over the Invitation to Invest to the company at the Forum. “Chhattisgarh has the power, the land and the political will that Al infrastructure needs, and it has them today. This MOU is the start of a long-term partnership. We look forward to building the largest Al-ready data centre campus in central India, bringing international capital and expertise to the state, and training Chhattisgarh’s engineers to run it,” said Stanislav Borisov, Chief Executive Officer, Energy Capital Global.

 

The State also received an FDI commitment of 1,500 crore from Sunstream Green Energy Pvt Ltd in the solar sector, along with related battery storage and components. Sai said that these commitments are a vote of confidence in Chhattisgarh’s policies, potential and people. The Chief Minister also took part in a fireside chat alongside Chief Minister of Haryana Nayab Singh Saini, moderated by the Singapore Business Federation. Making a compelling case for Chhattisgarh, he said, “We don’t bring reforms by discussing in closed rooms. We ask industry directly about their difficulties and change our systems to match. Over 450 reforms are done, and this Reform Express will not stop until people themselves say no more reform is needed.” He added that this combination of reforms, a progressive industrial policy and a proactive government has brought Chhattisgarh investment proposals worth over 8 lakh crore in just 18 months. Gan Siow Huang, Minister of State, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Trade and Industry, Government of Singapore, graced the Forum as Guest of Honour. On the sidelines of the Forum, the Chief Minister held one-on-one meetings with Aquatech and Adroit Overseas Pte Ltd. The discussions focused on wastewater reuse infrastructure for industries and the vast opportunities in food processing in Chhattisgarh.
